Orchestral Music: How well synchronised in time do musicians have to be to sound as if they are playing together?

Orchestral Music: How well synchronised in time do musicians have to be to sound as if they are playing together?

Perfectly, in the ordained time.

Pay attention to what's written and placed before you, fellow Musicians. It’s YOUR/OUR JOBS!! (Unless your part/passage is demarked as ad-libitum..”at you liberty’ or a piacere—”at your pleasure”, submit to the notes written and their proper duration in hold!).

I remember, also, a single Violin holding an E6 far longer than notated in the finale to Wagner's Overture to “Tannhauser”. As the Violin figures in this Overture are among the best ever written, I found forgiveness in my Musical heart.

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

Aside: Wagner FOREVER!

I recall a single English Horn entering a millisecond before their due admittance at the outset in a recording of Wagner's “Ride of the Valkyries”. Not only this, but his/her assigned tremelo was to be from C#—D Natural, (Concert F#- G natural before transposition). The performer instead quavered between a C#—D#, (Concert tones F#—G# before transposition). The errant reading by the Hornist was impermissible and the recording should have been halted and begun anew. Yet, it was not. Worst recording ever.
